This may seem like a Euroleague game with not too much riding on it in the final week of the regular season but there will be motivating factors at play for the teams involved in this game. The hosts are unable to claim home-court advantage in the playoffs but they are involved in the next round of the tournament and a win could see them receive a higher berth. This means the home side have everything to play for and they should have more momentum than their opponents who have been eliminated and don’t have much of a reason to be at their best.

These teams have met on 15 occasions in the Euroleague so far and it is the Spaniards who hold a narrow lead, with an 8-7 advantage. When these teams met earlier on in the season, way back in Round of the Euroleague regular season, it was Kaunas who grabbed the win, triumphing by a score of 78-73. That was a great night for the Zalgiris fans and there was a lot of praise for Leo Westermann who provided 20 points in that win.

Kaunas will be glad to see the back of the Euroleague campaign
